Titanic Sank Here

Our cruise ship stopped at the site of the Titanic sinking to honor those lost in that tragedy. I'm currently on a transatlantic voyage from New York City to Rotterdam in the Netherlands and yesterday we stopped at the site of the Titanic wreckage for a wreath ceremony and a moment of silence.

This was a really a classy act of respect, reverence, and show of honor.

[@allergicone]

111 years later, we’re still benefiting from the lessons learned that fateful night. This is why we have more than enough lifeboats, muster drills, and rules about communication. Those who perished on Titanic have saved countless other lives at sea.

[@ladydi8376]

Makes all the complaining about muster drills seem even more selfish and ridiculous!

[@richardstrick]

I’am currently on the Jewel of the Seas. It was such a fitting tribute. After watching the clip I shared with my wife that the fact we have life jackets in our stateroom and and motor lifeboats waiting is a tribute to those we lost. 11 years in the Coast Guard as a marine inspector has made me appreciate their sacrifice.

And the Ice Patrol that still watches and reports on the ice in the Atlantic

[@Isaac-muntz]

Hence the saying "Safety regulations are often written in blood"

[@jeffmagill8703]

It is AMAZING that the Captain and the cruise line would do this. Much class to them.

[@kevinmain7152]

This has to be one the most classic tributes I have ever witnessed. It had to have been a humbling experience. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@dena-mo118]

Tony, how lovely to be a part of this moving tribute. I've always been fascinated with the Titanic and what transpired. So cool you got to be a part of this ceremony. Very touched.

[@joentexas]

Thanks Tony. Glad someone was able to bring this solemn ceremony to us. As a life long mariner, I hope this kind of ceremony will reminds us all that the traditions of going to sea is so much more than margaritas on the lido deck. As a side note; I hope it's not missed that the ship's captain ended the moment of silence with the sounding of the ship's whistle. It's always been a whistle to a true mariner, and not a horn. Same as it is on a train. In the infamous lyrics sung by Johnny Cash; "when I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry". Great stuff, Tony. Thanks.

[@AlejandraCamposGua]

Great tidbit! Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisgrant3820]

That was very moving. How lucky are you to have experienced such a tribute near the anniversary date.

[@johnwilton4500]

I could never thank you enough for recording and posting this. I only wish I could have been there. Simply beautiful. Remember The TITANIC ❤

[@paceman29]

The Coast Guard has a Memorial for the Cutter Blackthorn which was lost due to a collision in the Tampa Bay Channel at the Sunshine Bridge. Whenever a Coast Guard Cutter goes by all hands are on deck for a salute to lost comrades.

[@Scotto97]

On my recent and first sailing with Holland America I noticed the ship was ran in a closer fashion to an ocean liner than most other cruise lines. This more formal, focused approach gave me a greater sense of safety and respect for the sea. Bravo to Holland America for its classy, solemn ceremony honoring those who died on the RMS Titanic, RIP.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

❤❤❤❤😂😂

[@sheilakauvar5499]

HAL has far more sense of tradition and respect of naval history than any other line. It is so admirable.

[@LucyBird]

Couldn't be more impressed with HAL's thoughtfulness, thanks for sharing that moment with us!

[@michellejeske7992]

Thank you for sharing this special tribute. I'm pleased to see that cruise lines honor that tragedy. What an amazing memory you will have. RIP Titanic lost souls 💔

[@FloridaGrams1422]

Very moving moment. Thank you for being there to video the commemoration and sharing it with us.

[@sonnyev5451]

Oh wow. That had to be quite an experience. Intriguing and somber at the same time. The Captain and Crew did a very professional and fitting tribute to Titanic.

[@sylvialucas7755]

I visited the Pearl Harbor memorial and remember that feeling looking down into the water knowing the ship was still there with many of its crew. Very emotional. Brought me to tears.

[@julieb7882]

I'm going there in just over 2 weeks. I'm sure it will be an emotional experience.

[@hopekatz2725]

@Hitogokochi Ridiculous? Why?? I dare you to explain… I’m waiting

[@KG-ds2fj]

​@hitogokochiBruh what?

[@johnminkey4186]

I had the distinct honor to be at the 45th commemorative celebration of Pearl Harbor. The amazing thing was they brought together Japanese participant survivors, as well as American survivors. At the start of the event there was huge tension between the groups by the end of the day the groups were openly, drinking sake together, exchanging stories, hugs and tears.

[@erobed4565]

This is one of the reasons that we sail with HAL. They are a class operation from top to bottom. That was truly one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

[@anthonydimond5958]

Thanks Tony. I have been on two Princess Ships, one en route to Australia and the other ex Sydney heading to the US. By chance both cruises were at sea on the 25 April, ANZAC Day, this is a sacred day for both Australians and New Zealanders. This is the day they remember the fallen in all wars and peacekeeping operations, which both countries have taken part. It was a huge move on behalf of the Captain and the line. During the ceremony on each voyage, the Captain slowed the ship, and a dawn service was held by the main pool. I am an Aussie Vet and on each occasion it was a great gesture by the Captain and the crew who took part.

[@Sparty1986]

❤ Insipiring. We stopped in Halifax and saw the graves of those pulled from the ocean. I looked at every grave and read every name or inscription so they knew they were not forgotten. RIP 😢

[@lizziebakeoven3225]

I saw that gravesite as well. I appreciated how the graves are laid out, in the shape of the hull

[@Sparty1986]

@@lizziebakeoven3225 yes, I saw that also. It was a very moving experience.

[@johnstoutley7421]

I would loved to have been there for that ceremony. I have a fascination with the whole story of the Titanic, and it holds a special part in my heart for those affected by that tragedy. Thanks for sending what you experienced, Tony. Keep enjoying your cruise.

[@Mike20np]

What a special moment. I’ve always wanted to stop and pay my respects at the spot of the wreckage.

[@jamesparr3459]

Very moving! The closest thing I have experienced was visiting the site of the battleship Arizona in Honolulu. The cemeteries in Arlington, Virginia and Normandy, France are a close second.

[@cavilier]

I have been to those humbling sites also. Another on that is always on my mind is the tour of Auschwitz ( 5 years later my wife still cries when the subject comes up)

[@annaspradlin4874]

That was one of the most touching tributes I've ever seen. Kudos to the captain and to Holland America Cruise Lines for commemorating that most unhappy day in history.

[@1940sGal]

How moving! Such RESPECT and HONOR. Tony, you know how fortunate you are to be on that sailing and I’m sure we all can’t thank you enough for sharing those moments with us. I’m actually choked up. Definitely will be trying / booking Holland America this year.

[@dgmcginty]

We refer to the course you are taking in your TA as “ The Titanic Route”. We have not had a formal remembrance. This was touching.

[@dadams512]

Glad you attended and captured it to share with us all. Very moving. Appreciate you, Tony. Thank you!

[@ceeceemac9072]

Oh Tony. What an incredible experience you got to be a part of! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@dwainavance]

In this day of memes, pithy sayings, etc. (and I'm as guilty as anyone using them) sometimes for these real events where many people, through no fault of their own, lost their lives it is good to stop and think about those lost as real human beings and not just a stat/moment in history. Thanks for sharing Tony!

[@3716anderson]

Good on HAL and the captain for remembering their brothers and the passengers that perished on the Titanic. Class act!

[@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675]

This was very moving. Great on the Captain for doing this ceremony. ❤

[@jimbo160aaaa]

That was a very respectful thing to do. Congratulations to the captain and the cruise line for doing this. No I’ve never seen anything like this, it was very moving.. Thank you for bringing this to us.

[@dollyc4314]

A tribute to remember, Tony. Thanks for sharing.

[@JennyCruiseCommander]

That’s was so beautiful and it made me cry. What a wonderful thing to be able to witness. ❤️

[@lindaroney4820]

So special...Glad you were there to witness it and share. The Titanic will never be forgotten.

[@christinehulick9875]

It would have been an honor to attend this tribute.

[@tracymayertravel]

Thank you for sharing this. How amazing to be at the exact location. I think this trip is already worth it and you have only just started.

[@moonbeammimi]

Tracy Mayer, you've said it perfectly.

[@darleneeastburn7639]

Loved ur entrance to the cabin … the Titanic was emotional for everyone. Very thoughtful … This is a cruise I wish I had known about … I for sure would have booked it !!!!…😢

[@chyka7415]

What a tribute to the passengers of the Titanic. I got emotional watching from home, can just imagine how you guys felt. That is a moment you will not forget any tine soon. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

[@danielonn2002]

My relative missed the RMS Titantic by a day! Its so moving that the captain did this. He was not obligated to do so.

[@ericdrews5050]

How cool was that. What a great memory to take away from your cruise.

[@nickpacaccio8540]

Thanks Tony for this video...it's one of the major reasons I personally subscribe to La Lido Loca...have a great remainder of your trip!!!

[@Topspeedmaster25]

What a touching moment.Its also sad that they scrapped her sister ship.

[@MavRick0316]

What a great tribute to experience. Hats off to HAL.

[@cynthialiberatore368]

Wow, that was a great tribute! Thank you for sharing that!

[@maytemcconnell8957]

Holland America is a classy cruise line. I was on the Noordam over 30 years ago and was very impressed with them. This was an awesome and very touching thing that they did to honor the brave victims of the Titanic. ❤. Kudos to Holland America

[@texasgirl8446]

This is so touching thanks Tony for sharing. You are blessed to be part of this. Thank you

[@lifelonglearner5170]

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful moment, even for us on land watching your video.

[@dianec9456]

That made me verklempt... I'm glad that you were there and able to share this with us.

[@pedrozatravel]

Nice tribute, it is always fitting to pause a bit to remember those who have gone before us.

[@pattibeaumont3470]

That is just awesome that they had this ceremony. Very impressed.

[@deirdrekokora8680]

My great Aunt Bridget Bradley survived on a life raft. She was Irish and definitely 3rd class. It was amazing she made it.

[@jenreed8403]

That was beautiful. N what a blessing to be a part of it!

[@user-il3mz6lq3w]

I agree. What a great tribute to the Titanic and those who lost of their lives! Thank you for sharing this special moment with us!

[@charlayned]

That was one great tribute. I've studied Titanic over the years and always wanted to see it. You got a rare experience there. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. ((hugs))

[@lindaviel1940]

That is so caring.❤ Thank you for sharing.

[@verafuchs6179]

Thank you for sharing this moving tribute.

[@lyndabeam2622]

Brought tears, I’ve had an emotional connection to Titanic since I was pretty young, and I didn’t realize for a long time that it sank on my birthday because it started to sink on the 14th. This tribute gave me chills and tears when the whistle blew. Weird I know…

[@marybarkley5512]

Thanks for sharing with us all. Such a surreal moment! ❤️

[@konniethomas4473]

Very moving ❤ Thanks for sharing!

[@kryssc604]

Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful tribute.

[@beachblythe]

Wow! That’s lovely. My great great grandfather was a captain for the white star line. Some family members claim he was even offered the opportunity to be the captain of the Titanic but said no since he was close to retirement. I don’t think the story is true however.

[@davecass485]

Definitely special and a very thoughtful thing for HAL to do. Being from Atlantic Canada with our Maritime heritage the Titanic hits close to home. Many of the souls that were recovered are buried, as well as eternally remembered, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Great job Holland America Line and to you Tony for sharing it with us.

[@taustin6524]

This makes me love HAL even more.

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Tony. Thank you for sharing that beautiful tribute to those on the Titanic. ❤️ As always thank you for all you do.

[@daylasimeone336]

Thank you for sharing Tony. Such a moving tribute

[@angelarthrasher]

When I was in the Navy I performed a couple of burial at sea for veterans that requested to be buried at sea. It was a very big honor and seem to put things into perspective of such a special event! Until the ashes blew onto us from the wind...that was a bit odd but still a memorable ceremony.

[@vanessabullock36]

I absolutely adore this. What a way to honor all those that lost their lives on the Titanic 111 years ago.

[@PaigeHumphrey]

Oh wow!!! What an amazing experience that must have been!

[@patriciareynolds1800]

What a wonderful tribute to be a part of! And so many people taking a moment from their vacation to participate. That captain is a class act

[@GreatMewtwo]

That was really cool. You don't see that level of class these days, even among the public sector.

[@jayniesteel1702]

That was amazing and very solemn. Thank you, Tony, for sharing this..

[@lancehaddockable]

Love your content always, such an amazing tribute.

[@LaLidoLoca]

Thanks

[@richardkopaniasz8935]

Good job Tony. Because of the Titanic we modern cruisers are now safer. Do the muster drill people.

[@sheliad2821]

very touching way to honor those lost. Thank you for sharing Tony!!

[@donb2480]

Tony, thanks for sharing this ceremony. Hope you are having a good time.

[@coolauntiejoyce]

This was a touching and heartfelt tribute by HAL. Back when I was active duty(Navy) one of the most important and respected ways to honor a fallen Sailor was to perform a funeral detail. The observance your ship held reminds of that sense of paying respect to those who gave their all.❤️

[@BTimmer]

Thank you for posting this commemorative event. It's another example of the kinds of things that HAL does during many of its voyages and why we enjoy cruising on that line.

[@katherinevanleuven2192]

One of the reasons why I love Holland America so much. They are respectful and classy.

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Tony. What a wonderful experience for you. Another first for the La Lido Loca fam !! I'm glad you were able to participate in this commemoration. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@susanknight183]

Thank you for recording this commemoration of the Titanic. We took part in a similar event in 2015 in the Dardanelles Turkey, where the 1915 WW1 Gallipoli Campaign took place with the sinking of 3 warships, and loss of many lives. The Captain held a memorial service, and invited passengers to attend. 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍

[@richd6362]

Thank you for showing this. A very touching tribute.

[@yarnmoods]

You’ve been able to experience two once in a lifetime events on this cruise already. I’m so glad you made the last minute decision to go.

[@kiera_kayaks7521]

Wow, thank you so much Tony, for allowing us to be a part of the tribute too❤🎉

[@carolynjunehansen9348]

Very respectfully done to commerate the remembrance of lives lost from the sinking of Titanic. Thanks for sharing Tony, I have been to one of the graveyards in Nova Scotia where bodies were buried. It was such a tragedy for the time.

[@debbieanderson6740]

What a beautiful and fitting tribute to such a tragic event. So much respect for HAL.

[@ericgranger5014]

What a great experience! Very impressive they did this ceremony. Thank you for sharing

[@GenevaVollrath]

Tony, my sister and I are on the ship. We were very moved. My paternal grandfather had Titanic tickets for the crossing, but was turned away because he had a cough. He kept those tickets until shortly before his death.

[@Stanf954]

Just another reason we love HAL. A very classy operation all around.

[@peterbarber1051]

Thanks Tony for sharing this very emotional moment with us

[@domino3939]

When the horn blew I had goose bumps

[@cherievaldez4994]

Thank you Tony for sharing such a beautiful moment

[@stephiewool101]

My parents did a Trans-Atlantic on HAL last year, and said they thoroughly enjoyed the lecture presentation about the Titanic, as well as this ceremony. So nice that they still pay tribute to these souls. The Titanic museum in Branson, Missouri is totally fascinating, I love learning all things about the stories of the families impacted.

[@FlorensiaRecorder]

The photo of the Titanic on the ocean floor, caught me off guard. I have submechanophobia, so I try to avoid footage/photos of stuff under water. I found this video to be touching - regardless of my fear.

[@sheliahayes8726]

That is special. My family of 7 went down with the Titanic, and that is so special that you got to stop and have a service.

[@lwk4229]

Thank you for letting all of us hear the captains touching words and also share that moment of silence for all the victims of the RMS Titanic. This is a great channel.
